You cannot ask him to risk his grant.”

“I will not ask him to do it for free, Ryder stated. I will ask him to do it for you. You stood up for them. You walked into that hallway

and demanded a fair fight. Hugo owes you the truth.”

Ryder turned around. He walked out of the bedroom. The front door clicked shut a minute later.

I sat alone in the quiet house. The rain continued to fall.

The hours dragged in a slow, punishing rhythm. The digital clock on my desk changed from eight to nine. Then ten. Then midnight.

I tried to return to the biology textbook. I stared at the cellular diagrams. I tried to memorize the formulas. The information refused to stick. My entire future depended on Friday morning, but my mind remained tethered to the dark streets of the city. I pictured Ryder meeting Hugo in some shadowed parking lot. I pictured the digital hunt.

The elite built fortresses of money and influence. They bought their victories. They crushed the working class beneath designer shoes. But Ryder understood the fundamental flaw in their system. They relied on the working class to build the walls.

At one in the morning, the front door opened.

I jumped off the mattress. I rushed down the narrow hallway.

Ryder stood in the living room. He wore his leather jacket over the black t-shirt. He looked exhausted. The rain soaked his hair, dripping onto the faded rug. He held a thick manila folder in his left hand.

I stopped at the edge of the hallway. My pulse hammered against my ribs.

He looked up. He met my gaze. The exhaustion in his posture vanished, replaced by a fierce, undeniable triumph.

“You found something, I breathed.

Ryder walked toward me. He bypassed the living room and entered my bedroom. I followed him. He stopped at the small wooden desk. He dropped the manila folder onto the scratched surface. The heavy paper slapped the wood with a loud crack.

“Hugo runs the deep server logs, Ryder said. His voice carried a dark, lethal edge. “He bypassed the main firewall. He dug into the deleted archives from the fall semester. He searched Chloe Vance’s entire digital history on the campus network.

What did he find?” I stepped closer to the desk.

Ryder reached out and flipped the manila folder open.

Chapter 218 Finding Her Fake College Essay

:

A stack of printed papers sat inside. The top sheet featured a long chain of email correspondence. The text looked dense and technical.

Chloe portrays the perfect Ivy League candidate, Ryder began. He pointed to the top email. “She possesses the extracurriculars. She possesses the family legacy. But she lacked one crucial element for her early admission application to Princeton. She lacked a compelling

personal narrative. She lacked the entrance essay.”

“She submitted her essay in November, I recalled. “She bragged about it in the cafeteria. She wrote about overcoming adversity.”

‘She did not write a single word, Ryder stated.

The truth hit the air, sharp and undeniable. I stared at the boy standing beside me.

“Read the logs, Ryder commanded.

I leaned over the desk. I focused on the printed emails. The sender address belonged to Chloe’s private Crestview account. The recipient address belonged to an external domain.

I read the text of the message.

I need a complete draft by Friday. Focus on the volunteer work at the hospital. Make the tone sound authentic. Attached is the initial wire transfer confirmation for five thousand dollars. I will send the remaining balance upon delivery of the final document.

My stomach twisted. The sheer arrogance of the message made my blood run cold. She bought her admission ticket. She paid a ghostwriter to fabricate a story of struggle and triumph. She purchased her future with a single wire transfer.

“Hugo tracked the IP addresses, Ryder explained. He turned to the second page in the folder. The sheet displayed lines of complex code and numerical data. “She used the school network to download the final draft of the essay. She submitted the document directly to the Princeton admissions portal from the campus library. The digital footprint is permanent. It links her private account to the ghostwriting service. It proves the transaction.”

I touched the edge of the paper. The ink felt dry under my fingertips.

I spent four years bleeding for my academic record. I memorized textbooks until my eyes burned. I sacrificed sleep, social events, and my own comfort to earn my grades. I fought for every single fraction of a point on my transcript.

Chloe Vance bypassed the entire struggle. She handed a stranger five thousand dollars to forge her intellect.

This is academic fraud,” I whispered. “It is an expellable offense.”

It is the end of her reign, Ryder corrected. He stood tall in the cramped bedroom. The Crestview delinquent held the ultimate weapon. “If the school board sees these documents, they must revoke her Valedictorian rank. They must expel her. Princeton will rescind her

acceptance letter. Her entire pristine reputation will burn to ash.”

He found the flaw. He found the massive hole in her armor.
